Why choose Music Therapy?
Music therapy is a non-invasive, fun and motivating therapeutic medium aimed at enhancing overall function, mental health and well-being. Our job is to know how the various elements of music function and impact humans on a neurobiological level, and what behavioral changes to look for. This allows us to use music to address various goals. Music therapy can even compliment other therapies by reinforcing those skills being practiced.
